OK so recently i started a topic on the dag boards about making a change to have metal armor better. so here is the link: http://www.dagorhir.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001363&p= please add to the discussion and make the thread a little intersting. also try to get the word out. i think it would be cool if we could get the nation of dag in on this. |

I think I will let the experts argue about it. Everything that needs to be said is already there. By the way, if you realy want to change a rule posting about it on the boards is not going to do it. You have to play test it extensively and then go to Rag war council to argue your case and put it to a vote. |

Also who among us has metal armor? I have a couple of sets of metal armor, but one is rusted beyond wearing and the other is in shambles. If we can produce some passable metal armor you are welcome to try a play test to see if the idea holds any merit. What will happen here will be like the other armor changes that have been brought up, like the single greens ignore leather armor(One idea I liked), They will be talked to death and then nothing ever happens. |

i'm banned from the dag boards so i'm not even going to bother going there and reading what i'm sure has already been said but, in my opinion, it pretty much comes down to the point that adding any more hit counting would suck no matter what, those of us in the game that wear armor have a hard enough time counting the one extra hit and adding any more would only complicate the game and make it more like amt class battle hit taking which sucks donkey dicks plus like others who have been to rag and have seen the almost 30 year old war council will tell you changing anything nationally in dag is like pulling pit bull teeth! unless you have substantial evidence that your idea is better than there decades old rules already in place... tuff luck homey (you should see some of these rule nazis man i'm tellin ya some of them have been playing dag longer than you have been alive) there are really only a handful of fighters who fight in metal plate save the romans due to the extreme toll it takes on speed and agility. the romans pull it off because they form solid shield wall like a phalanx which is cool but they get a bad rep for lack of hit taking. some romans i have talked to although tell me they can hardly feel foam swords threw their metal plate in the heat of battle.?.?.?.? i'm all for metal armor it looks great but, playability in dag/bel makes it nearly obsolete unless you incorporate metal plates into leather joint pieces or something like that. but by all means keep trying to get your voice heard among the dag board trolls Edited by tiji, Nov 21 2008, 08:53 PM.

you can get banned for any number of things, for me it was asking if the other person in Az wanted to start a group and listing my e_mail. For one in my group it was advertising a different group's event. Another, asking questions about a different group than dag. Basically, if it isn't about dag you get banned. |

i was banned for posting that i won 1500$ in a ten man hacs tourny and for trying to promote cross game relations to me a good fight is a good fight but to many dagorhir fighters there is no such thing as any other games and they don't want their public to know about all the other cool shit going on in the world.... only dag. its to bad really. |

how I understand it is: they pay quite a bit of money to host the web side and maintain the boards and they just don't want all that money going to advertise for other games. you have to understand with how many real trolls have posted on the boards sometimes it's hard to weed them out from someone who is just new to dagorhir and doesn't know the rules. if you follow the rules you won't get banned. I used to think it realy sucked how strict the mods were but I did a lot of research on the dag/bel split and I think some of the mod's behavior is justified. the two boards (bel/dag) deal with bitter memories in different ways. The belegarth boards just bash dagorhir and it's administrators. the dagorhir boards choose not to talk about it. |

but the bel forum has an entire thread for other games including dag, and bel fighters talk openly about dag events and happenings??????? how is that bashing them? i know most of the dag mods as well as the people involved in the split and believe me dag administrators talk about it just not on the boards because they don't want to loose any more numbers from their contract.... and with the thousands of dollars dag makes on rag every year i doubt they are in any way shape or form short on money to run the web page. and what maintenance are you speaking of the dag board has been the same for yyyyeeeaaaaarrsss how hard is it to put new pics on the front page? i understand your loyalty to dagorhir i just don't think you have a clear perspective of belegarth or the split by simply researching it on the boards.... you can research it all day and still not understand what really happened at that war council meeting and the mutual retarded actions that followed. like i've said before i knew dominus years before i met keg and i was a dag fighter years before i even learned of belegarth but i was much more accepted and befriended by bel fighters as a whole, although keg isn't to fond of me for several reasons, dominus acts like he never knew me simply because i've explored every aspect of foam fighting openly and i talk about it everywhere i go to all fighters i meet and i don't label myself a dag or a bel fighter i'm simply a dark angel. my unit was formed in dagorhir but we mostly go to bel events now because the fighting is more intense save rag due to sheer numbers. i love dagorhir and i always will i just know from my own exp how touchy dag participants are, not ever letting go of their for the most part adopted grudge. |

all i'm saying is we are all fighters why do we have to be a dag fighter or a bel fighter. furthermore why is it advertising for this game or that game why isn't just advertising foam fighting and the progression of the game we all play and love to become a more nationally recognized "sport" like i said i LOVE DAGORHIR i just don't think they have any right to with hold knowledge from their fighting society and i will forever support foam fighting as a whole! i could care less the labeled name it falls under Edited by tiji, Nov 22 2008, 08:42 AM.
